An amazing part of Britain’s motoring heritage.

The wooden toolbox discreetly sited below the carpet behind the seats is complete and still in original packaging including the central spin-off wheel nut tool. This more modern variant of the Morgan product is spacious and comfortable to allow maximum appreciation of the Morgan Motor Company magic.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The formidable powerplant fitted to this Roadster is the desirable Ford 3.7 Litre V6 Cyclone unit developing 280bhp. In a car weighing just 950kg, the power output equates to almost 300bhp per tonne with a top speed of 140mph and 0-62mph in just 5.5 seconds! The beautiful centre hinged twin bonnet wings are super-lightweight and lift to reveal a spotlessly clean engine bay with all stickers and build plates present and correct. Rebelling against its traditional appearance, the cars performance is phenomenal with the quiet and silky smooth V6 becoming not so quiet just when you want the foot down thrill that has made Morgan so famous. The six-speed manual gearbox is a joy to use.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
An eye wateringly expensive upgrade to the factory specification is the optional 5-wheel package 16in polished wire wheels which are sensational in both aesthetics and condition. Matching Avon tyres of size 205/55 R16 are fitted to all five rims with the spare being unused. The braking system features discs to the front which have been replaced in March 2023 using genuine Morgan items.
